Re: Wood Deck vs Paving 11Jul 16, 2009 7:04 pm I went into an apparently 'cheap' place here in Canberra today and they quoted $330 per sq/m with Merbau or similar wood or $100 per sq/m if I use pine. The saga continues.

Its only the difference in the decking price. The decking itself should cost you $390 in 90x22mm pine or $825 in 90x19mm merbau.

The saga continues. Who are you getting to quote the job? we went through landscape gardens at first- found they tend to have a set 'per metre' price, which in some cases will work out more expensive, then we went for Pergola/ outdoor specialises and thats where we got our price! When l rang them l got that "we dont give you a sqm price as its not always the best price, we would like to come out and quote per job" to be honest at first i thought we were paying WAY too much, now that its completed i see how big it is, (we used merbau wood too) and the work that went into it, l can see that what we paid was a reasonable price! if you lived in Melbourne l would give you my guys number! mel_b woodsey We just got a hardwood decking with a measurement of 3*5.5m- its a step down decking (cause its for the front, so has three steps) and it costed us $3700! def be 'shopping' around for other prices! i was annoyed at what we paid, BUT i had my heart set on that too so ended up paying, def think $5000 is a lot!!

Re: Wood Deck vs Paving 15Jul 25, 2009 3:27 pm Just for sharing, I just had a hard time fixing my outdoor especially my deck due to my busy schedules. Then my friend told me to visit this site [url]weblink removed by site admin[/url] I saw many style of decks, fences, and railing that are really fit to my preference. I just purchase there online and the company teach me on how to install it. It was safe and their products are durable. I'm proud to be the one of their satisfied customers Re: Wood Deck vs Paving 16Jul 26, 2009 5:54 pm Thanks for sharing Satisfaction, but your linked email address shows me you're more than a "satisfied customer"! Nice try! Good Bye! Re: Wood Deck vs Paving 18Mar 04, 2010 5:39 am Hard to say if quote is as you say " over the top" as it depends on quality of construction. Are they using stainless steel screws as opposed to fixing off with a nail gun? Not all timbers are of same quality. If you think quotes vary so much check out some of there work and see the difference. A quality deck should last min. 20 years so chose well Back to original question I think alfresco rooms off houses are better in a hardscape material as close to material inside, so if you have tiles continue outside Landscape Design & Construction http://cherub.squarespace.com/ Re: Wood Deck vs Paving 19Mar 07, 2010 1:39 pm also depends on whether excavation is included, what sort of posts have been specified- merbau, treated pine, concrete? Is there also some balustrade included in that? We are tossing up between a Jarrahdale radiant wood fire (the Pioneer) and a convection wood fire (Innovator or Countryman) but cannot decide on which type of wood fire is… 0 5475 I had 28m2 of engineered pavers laid six months back and it was difficult to find someone not taking the pi$$. Internet suggested it should be $85-100/m2 to lay them.… 3 13018 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5538 |
